The Inazuma Eleven series has long been one of the most prominent in the football RPG genre. The franchise has gone beyond its niche and become a full-fledged brand with a loyal community.
Victory Road was its return, and it is clear that Level-5 chose the right direction.
In the week after its release, Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road exceeded 500,000 copies across all platforms. This is a high result for a digital release and a sign that fans were waiting for a new football chapter.
Victory Road includes a fresh story, a new hero, and a large set of characters. There is competitive online play and versions for both Nintendo Switch consoles. Level-5 has already noted that the next installment is "a matter of time."
